68Elkie

I just replaced the entire front suspension on my '68 Elkie and got it aligned. After searching for posts here, here's what I asked for:
Camber neg 1/8 degree,
Caster 3.5 Left, 3.0 Right
Toe-in 1/8".
After taking out all of the shims, here's what I got:
Camber neg .030 Left & neg .070 Right
Caster 3.49 Left & 3.33 Right
I was told I can't get any more negative camber and can't adjust caster without shimming, which would make my camber worse; so I'm stuck with what I got? Should I be concerned with these specs, or are they close enough? I suspect I'd have to go to offset shafts to get any better - would it be worth it?
The Toe-in is .07 degrees on each side, Steer Ahead 0.00. What does this equate to in inches?
Thanks,
Ed
